...public schools are opened to all pupils." This was dismissed with a smirk: "Then came the hedge." The sum of TIME'S account was in the snickering quip: "Not later, but not now." My question is: Does TIME report the facts honestly or twist them to secure a cute caption? Perhaps a more profound question could be asked: Did TIME read the pastoral letters, and if so, why were they not reported fairly...
...view mirror or whitewalls without charge. Salesmen find that men make most of the car-buying decisions, but let wives pick color and interior. A salesman knows that he has a man trapped when a wife stands back, looks fondly at a car and gurgles: "Isn't that cute!"

He (eagerly) : "I won't be disillusioned. Say anything!" She (reassured): "Yes. I am." He (stunned...
Mother Goose (Cyril Ritchard, Celeste Holm, Boris Karloff; Caedmon). Arch without being cute, this trio skips through the old rhymes like verbal jump ropes. In gleeful self-amazement, Actor Ritchard triple-tongues Peter Piper's pickled peppers ("I didn't break down, you see"). Hershy Kay's musical punctuation is pert and pertinent, unfailingly delights, never intrudes...
